Speaking about Yash and the making of Toxic, director Geetu Mohandas shared her thoughts: “Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups is a story that defies convention and is sure to provoke the chaos within us. Today, as we release the first peek of our film, we also celebrate Yash—a man the nation reveres for his vision and swagger. I have observed his brilliance, and to those who know him or follow his journey, his process is as mysterious as it is meticulous. It is both a privilege and a thrill to have co-written this captivating world alongside a mind that sees the extraordinary where others see the ordinary. When our two worlds of thought collided, the result is neither compromise nor chaos—it’s the transformation that happens when artistic vision meets the precision of commercial storytelling, transcending borders, languages, and cultural confines. We hope to bring an experience woven to ignite something primal in all of us—a film not just to be watched, but to be felt. Through his process of quiet reverence for his craft, he taught me that the journey of creation is sacred. To him, nothing is certain except the thrill of the journey ahead. These words are not just spoken from a director about her actor and not just for his ardent admirers, but for anyone seeking to understand his unwavering passion for cinema and boundless spirit of creativity. Happy birthday to our Monster mind!"
